Reborn as shield hero with Garps Template

Jason scanned the entire Lute Village but did not find Motoyasu and Myne. In fact, Jason had been paying attention to the two people who might appear since coming here.

According to their personalities, there is no reason they would sit idly by while so many soldiers were killed.

Since they still haven't appeared, the most likely possibility is that they are not here.

"Reporting to Lord Shield Hero, I heard from my mother that the Gunnery and his party left Lute Village this morning and headed towards the capital."

Jack stepped forward at this time and said, "Do you know why?"

"This is not very clear. It seems to be about repairing and updating equipment. After all, in a few days, the wave of disaster will come again."

"Repair and update the equipment? It shouldn't take much time. Forget it... Anyway, there is nothing else right now, so we'll just stay here and wait."

Jason thought for a while and decided to wait for Motoyasu and Myne to return, as he had promised the manager of the magic shop to solve the troubles in Lute Village.

Although the soldiers are all dead, as long as Motoyasu and Myne are the leaders, the root cause remains.

"Ding! Please choose!"

It is easy for you to kill Motoyasu directly, and you will be rewarded with 1% completion of the Garp template.

Killing the first princess directly is like killing a chicken for you now, and you will be rewarded with 1% completion of the Garp template.

Make Motoyasu and Myne dare not step into Lute Village again, and reward 20 points of basic strength.

At this moment, the sound of the system task selection echoed.

Jason was taken aback, as he hadn't encountered a task selection for a while.

Choices '1' and '2' are indeed as mentioned, easy to do. Jason even felt he didn't need to do it himself—Jack and others could eliminate Motoyasu and Myne. However, the rewards were extremely small. Jason, accustomed to bigger gains, found these insignificant.

The reward for choosing '3' was a bit special in Jason's opinion because there had never been a similar reward or task before.

The strength value is 20 points. Given Jason's incredibly high defense power, what he lacked now was strength, and for every 1% completion of the Garp template, only 5 strength points were added due to various reasons.

As for the task, it is to make Motoyasu and Myne not dare to step into Lute Village again. It seemed a bit vague, with the focus on "dare not."

There could be something in Lute Village that made them extremely afraid, leaving them without the courage to step in.

Or Jason could leave a deep psychological scar, ensuring they would tremble at the mention of "Lute Village."

Jason leaned towards a dual approach. Given the actions of Motoyasu and Myne, if their lives weren't made unbearable, it would be unjust.

"This option 3 is quite interesting, and the rewards are just what I need. So, it's decided."

After confirming the task, Jason glanced over at Jack and the others again.

Jack and the others immediately understood that Jason had something in mind for them. They stood upright, as if to say: "Give me the task, and I will complete it."

"There are still a few days before the wave of disaster. I originally wanted you to rest, but since such an event has occurred, we cannot sit idly by."

"Now, I want you to unite all the villagers of Lute Village and hold a grand banquet so that Motoyasu and Myne can experience the joys of life."

Jason spoke slowly.

Jack and the others were stunned, not fully understanding what Jason meant.

"I currently have a plan..."

Jason began to outline his plan to Jack and the others.

Jack and the others widened their eyes, raising their thumbs in approval as they listened.

"Of course, this is just a general plan. You will need to fill in the details. The goal is to make Motoyasu and Myne feel like they are dying. Let alone returning to Lute Village, they should feel terror at even hearing the name. Those who perform well among you will be exempted from the previous punishment."

When they heard 'exempt from punishment,' each of their eyes lit up, as Jason's punishments were too terrifying, and none of them wanted to face it again.

"Yes! Master Shield Hero, we promise to complete the mission!"

Jack and the others immediately shouted with enthusiasm.

"Very well, then the specifics will be handed over to you; I have other matters to attend to."

After Jason finished speaking, he took Raphtalia and Filo to the village chief's house.

It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive. The village chief, who happened to be at home, warmly received them and welcomed them inside.

The village chief's house was unchanged from its original state; it seemed unaffected by the tax situation.

At this moment, Jason sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the village chief in front of him.

The village chief, despite his age, sat obediently across from him like a student, his feet placed neatly together.

The nearly 100 soldiers Myne had stationed in the village had all been killed by Jack and the others, and the village chief naturally knew about it.

However, he didn't dare mention it or ask any questions; after all, he was just a small village chief.

"Village chief, you should already understand why I'm here today, shouldn't you?"

Jason's tone was unhurried, like a casual conversation. However, upon hearing his words, the village chief was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Master Shield Hero, please forgive me! I really couldn't stop Her Highness Myne and spear hero. After all, I'm just a small village chief. I even helped Wordsworth's parents as much as I could."

As he spoke, the village chief sobbed and sniffled, putting on a pitiful display.

Jason sighed, a black line appearing on his face. "Alright… don't put on such a show at your age. I'm not here for that. I know you couldn't do anything about it."

"Huh?"

The village chief looked at Jason, confused, as he wiped his nose.

"Are you sure you haven't forgotten our previous arrangement? Or is there something wrong with it? Maybe you kept it all for yourself?"

"No, no! Even if you gave me 10,000 lives, I wouldn't dare keep it all for myself!"

Hearing Jason's words, the village chief finally understood what Jason was referring to.
